paddlewheel plans?

[crueby]

Hi all,

I've been looking for plans for a paddle wheel mechanism, like for a sidewheeler. The simpler form has fixed-angle paddles, but there were versions with linkages that kept the paddles more vertical in thier travel through the water. I've seen plans for them in the past, but darned if I can find where it was! Anyone have a link?

Thanks!
Chris
